What Would a Second US Civil War Really Look Like?

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. -Abraham Lincoln

“Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.” ― George Carlin

Oh, and that's 393 million registered guns. It's been legal to manufacture your own personal firearm since 1776

It's better to die on your feet the live on your knees.

I find it hilarious that in the movie half the states didn’t even participate which honestly seems pretty accurate.

To have a Civil War, one would have to get off the couch.

As a Vet, and an American, it's my Right and duty to pursue happiness, and to be able to express my civil rights. Currently I don't feel safe, happy or secure. I feel like I'm not represented, and see and hear tyranny and corruption.

The first civil war had clear "enemies" with uniformed armies. The next one will be a little more vague.

The Revolutionary War was technically the first Civil War. There were a huge amount of Loyalists that fought.

Americans just don't realize how comfortable we are .Things may not be the best but a war in our own backyards will make things way worse, Millions will die either though violence or hunger and our lives will never be the same

Famous last words... "Are you crazy, THAT will NEVER happen".

This won’t be a civil war like 1860’s but a Mad Max on steroids…….

Let's not forget that a weak USA could be in the interest of several other nations. Violent extremists could be supported and encouraged by foreign powers.

A British man just told them not to stockpile ammunition. They're all running out to buy more right now

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent" -Issac Asimov

It won't be North vs South. It will be urban vs rural. Just look at a 2016 voting map. That's your sides.

I was raised in one of the more peaceful parts of Northern Ireland during the troubles. When you are exposed to news of bombings and shootings daily, it doesn't stop you going somewhere like Belfast or Derry/Londonderry, or on a night out it makes you more vigilant. Bombs could be anywhere so you remained vigilant when out and about. You'll swerve the car to avoid a paper/plastic bag in the road, it could hold a device there to ambush security forces. I remember opening my bag to be security checked before entering shops, that becomes normal. We checked behind/under stock in shops for hidden devices before closing time. There were also things like 'bomb sales' where the shops sold everything for dirt cheap after a bomb went off. Sometimes the glass/smoke smell came out of the clothes/items, and sometimes they didn't.

People in my country joke that there could never be a civil uprising in the USA because there is no US embassy to stage it.

I find it funny How he keeps saying america is a democracy...news blast we're not.
